JOI Gaming, the operator of the Jack’s Casino brand, has once again found itself in the crosshairs of the Dutch gambling regulator.
This time around, Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) revealed that it has contacted the firm in relation to a marketing infringement raised in an anonymous report, which brought the regulator’s attention to a Jack’s Casino promotion seen on the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) website.
While the placement of the logo is not the core of the issue, the KSA said that JOI Gaming is in breach of regulations as clicking on the logo led to Jack’s Casino online platform.
This is in direct violation of the Dutch domestic gambling framework, as it not only prohibits untargeted iGaming advertisements, but also sports sponsorships with online gambling providers.
These rules were introduced back in July 2025 as part of a wider reform package to amend the Remote Gaming Act (KOA), which is still being implemented.
The amendments also include a ban on using influencers to promote gambling, a ban which JOI Gaming has breached in the past. Back in December, the firm was hit with a €400,000 charge (£346,000) for an infringement dating back to 2023 during a major motorsport event.
This time around, the KSA reported that JOI Gaming has immediately complied with the issued warning, taking down the link from the PDC website, potentially avoiding subsequent regulatory action.
This debacle could have been avoided altogether if JOI had done what it does in markets where it is not licensed, like the UK, for example.
UK-based customers can access the PDC website freely, and the Jack’s Casino logo is visible under the Partners section.
However, because neither Jack’s or JOI currently have a licence by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), clicking on the logo just leads back to the PDC website.
